"What are you talking about?"
Hei Yu was furious, "If you want to leave, do you think I can bind your legs and keep you from going?"
"You can’t bind my legs, but you can obscure my senses so that no matter how I walk, I can’t leave here. And even worse, I might end up in places far more dangerous than this." Chen Fan replied.
"You!"
A trace of astonishment flashed in Hei Yu’s eyes.
Even the few shadowy figures nearby watching showed surprised expressions in their eyes.
What’s the deal with this kid?
How does he know our methods?
If he knew this, why did he come in, risking himself?
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand a single word,"
Hei Yu raged, "Are you here today to obtain some Divine Demon-level Martial Arts? If not, leave immediately!"
"Enough."
Chen Fan got straight to the point, "What Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, do you think I’m a three-year-old? Even if the Red Dragon Sect had Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, they would’ve been taken when they were exterminated. Honestly, there’d be nothing left for me to take now, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the shadowy figures, including Hei Yu, turned cold.
They were resentments, the resentments of the people from the Red Dragon Sect before their deaths.
Thus, they harbored a strong hatred not only for the living but even more so for those who spoke ill of the Red Dragon Sect!
At this moment, Chen Fan’s words undoubtedly tore open their wounds.
Instantly, thick smoke billowed around, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.
The previous blue sky, towering ancient trees, and broken walls all vanished.
What remained was an endlessly eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
"Kekeke," a hair-raising laugh echoed as a shadow floated over, "Boy, you sure know a lot. But since you figured out there’s no Divine Demon-level Martial Arts here, why did you still come in?"
"It’s simple,"
Chen Fan seemed unaware of the changes around him, calmly saying, "Although there are no Divine Demon-level Martial Arts here, there are surely quite a few Supreme-level Martial Arts retained. For example, the Great Vajra Divine Power you gave me earlier is one of those Supreme-level Martial Arts."
"So that’s the method you used, no wonder."
The shadowy figures glanced at Hei Yu.
"So, you’re looking for more Supreme-level Martial Arts?" Hei Yu sneered.
"Exactly."
Chen Fan nodded, "To be honest, I also have a few Divine Demon-level Martial Arts, such as the Longevity Technique, the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill, and the Six Gods Technique..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by the surrounding shadows.
"The Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill? You have the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill?"
"Impossible, how could you have that cultivation technique?"
"The Six Gods Technique? You also have the Six Gods Technique?"
One by one, the shadows were incredibly shocked.
Chen Fan quietly glanced at them, "Yes, but they are all incomplete versions. For example, the Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill only has the first volume, the Celestial Spirit Qi Technique."
"Hahaha, that’s what I thought."
Hearing Chen Fan say this, the shadows burst into laughter.
"That Heaven and Earth Supreme Skill, what an extraordinary cultivation technique. You, a mere True Essence Realm, really?" The shadow speaking seemed to realize Chen Fan had already reached the Celestial Human Realm, and couldn’t finish the sentence.
"You broke through to the Celestial Human Realm?" It asked with a gaping mouth.
"Yes, just recently."
"???!!!"
The shadows looked at each other in shock, feeling a sense of dread.
This kid was already terrifying when he was just in the True Essence Realm.
Besides them and a few demon beasts in the back mountain, he could walk unimpeded here.
But now, this kid had broken through to the Celestial Human Realm.
Could it be?
Hei Yu immediately understood and said, "Is this the reason you dared to come in?"
"Yes, but it’s only part of the reason."
Chen Fan smiled but didn’t elaborate. After all, he had important business here.
"Gentlemen, as I mentioned, I have a few incomplete Divine Demon-level Martial Arts. If we discuss power, they are only marginally stronger than Supreme-level Martial Arts. So, I’ve come this time to propose a trade with you. How about I trade my Divine Demon-level Martial Arts for the Supreme-level Martial Arts you know?"
Silenced fell around them.
The shadows looked at each other.
They had lived for hundreds or thousands of years and had never encountered something so outrageous.
A living person wanted to trade with these ghostly beings!
Outrageous as if the impossible had opened the door to absurdity and gone straight home!
"Kid, do you know who we are?"
One shadow raged, "Do you know what will happen next? You will suffer torment, and in the end, you’ll be begging us to kill you."
"I know, but I think it’s unnecessary to make things go that far,"
Chen Fan shrugged, "Trading your Supreme-level Martial Arts with my incomplete Divine Demon-level Martial Arts isn’t a bad deal. Everything in the world can be cultivated, even ghosts aren’t an exception, correct?"
"Did you hear that? Did you hear what he said?"
"Hahaha, he actually wants to trade with us?"
"A trade? Kill him, and we get everything we want!"
"Kid, I don’t know whether to call you naive or foolish. You know what we are and still want to make a deal with us. Don’t you know, dealing with a tiger will get you killed?" Hei Yu said with a sinister smile.
"So, there’s no room for negotiation?"
Chen Fan wasn’t surprised by this.
He was doing this because he was someone who distinguished between gratitude and enmity.
These ghosts intended to harm him, but except for Hei Yu, they hadn’t done anything bad to him yet.
Even Hei Yu was somewhat considerate, having given him a Supreme-level Martial Art.
So, if they could negotiate, he would try negotiating first.
If not, then he would fight.
"Nonsense! What makes you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with us? Kid, taste the pain we’ve endured for thousands of years!"
A painfully screeching sound echoed, and the shadows vanished, replaced by a heap of corpses.
These corpses died in the most gruesome ways, some with only a head bouncing towards him.
In the past, many living people wouldn’t necessarily be scared to death, but they would certainly feel a deep fear, particularly because these ghostly beings couldn’t be killed no matter what.
Chen Fan shook his head.
With a thought.
A two or three-meter tall Thunder God Dharma Aspect suddenly appeared behind him.
Unlike the Thunder God Dharma Aspect condensed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi by the Song Family Ancestor, this Thunder God Dharma Aspect was a Spiritual Manifestation by Chen Fan.
The moment it appeared, the ghosts let out shrieks, emitting white smoke and dissipating completely.
The previously swirling black fog quickly dissipated, revealing the original surroundings.
"No, impossible!"
The shadows were in disbelief.
Just a moment ago, they were clearly in control.
In the next, all their advantage was gone.
"Boom!"
A thunderous sound accompanied a bolt of lightning striking one of the shadows.
The shadow cried out, its form dimming by seventy percent.
Thunder was like a nemesis to ghostly beings.
It survived only because Chen Fan wanted to keep it alive, to avoid embarrassment if he couldn’t obtain the martial techniques after killing it.
The other shadows were terrified, almost losing their souls.
Was this really a Celestial Realm Martial Artist?
A Divine Cultivation Realm was hardly any different, right?
They immediately tried to flee.
"Anyone who runs will be annihilated,"
Chen Fan’s voice sounded, and the shadows seemed to have been hit by a Body-Stabilizing Technique, freezing in place.
"Se... Senior,"
The situation had reversed completely, and Hei Yu now had a pleading expression, "You mentioned trading your Divine Demon-level Martial Arts for our Supreme-level Martial Arts. I think we can, I am willing to trade."
"Yes, yes, senior, we will trade, we will trade."
The other shadows quickly echoed.
"Sorry, that was the previous deal, it’s no longer valid," Chen Fan’s lips curved slightly, "Now let’s discuss a new deal."
